Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1614942A1] This application describes a seal for sealing component openings 7, 26 in components of a means of transport, in particular for sealing openings in aircraft airfoils and tail units, comprising an inner cover 16, 31 connected to an outer cover 22, 35 via connecting members 24,37. An insert 8, 27 may be arranged in the component opening 7, 26, the outer cover 22, 35 being at least locally adjacent to an insert outer surface 19, 30, and the inner cover 16, 31 being at least locally adjacent to an insert inner surface 17, 29. Owing to the insert 8, 27 arranged in the component opening 7, 26, manufacturing of the seal, e.g. by an injection molding technique, may be possible, producing already at manufacturing level a high surface quality of the resulting sealing surfaces between the insert 8, 27, the inner cover 16, 31, as well as the outer cover 22, 35. Thus, additional expensive processing steps for improving the surface quality of the relevant sealing surfaces are unnecessary. Moreover, with sufficient strength values at the component opening 27, 26, the insert 8, 27 may make use of the inner cover 16, 31 unnecessary. Finally, if required, a different material can be used for the insert 8, 27 than for manufacturing component 6, 25.
